Great Demon Sun Wukong

Time flew by, and the three had been away from that valley for a full seven days! In these seven days, they had not encountered a single Soul Beast, and even when night fell, no soul beasts ever appeared near them.

That day, Xi Zhao’s attempt to steal a chicken only led to the loss of his rice, for although he woke Sun Wukong with the stench, he ended up in a worse state, getting a splash of pungent mushroom juice on the back of his hand. Despite trying all sorts of methods, the stench didn’t fade in the slightest!

Xi Zhao even resorted to cutting off his own arm but, after absorbing an Eight Patterns Soul Bead for recovery, the back of the restored hand still carried the stench.

Though Xi Zhao gave Sun Wukong a good beating, he remained incredibly frustrated! Furthermore, the little fox’s nose was extremely sensitive. After discovering the stench emanating from Xi Zhao, she never approached him again. Sun Wukong also tried everything to use various kinds of spiritual medicine to make fragrance sachets for the little fox. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Because of this stench, it was also the reason the three of them had not encountered a single soul beast for seven straight days. Soul beasts’ sense of smell was always more sensitive than that of humans, so they could smell the stench from afar.

Considering the pungent mushroom’s notoriety, there was nothing in the Soul Extinguishing Forest that didn’t know about it; nobody wanted to be associated with that smell, so the trio had an unobstructed path ahead of them.

"Monkey, if you laugh again, I’ll give you a bath with the pungent mushroom!" Watching Sun Wukong, who was sitting far away whispering with the little fox, Xi Zhao became so angry he couldn’t vent it. But, having no other choice, he could only utter a threatening phrase before leaning against a large tree with a face full of sorrow and closing his eyes.

When the little fox woke up that day, Xi Zhao told her the Saint Armor Turtle had already left the Netherworld World. If she wanted to find him, she would have to search for the Supreme Pool with Sun Wukong and only by reaching the Nine Patterns Supreme could they leave this place to find him. Thus, although the little fox felt sad, she wasn’t too grief-stricken.

Later, when the little fox discovered the stench of the pungent mushroom on Xi Zhao, she became increasingly close to Sun Wukong.

Of course, Sun Wukong didn’t believe it at first but then asked Xi Zhao and learned the Saint Armor Turtle had indeed sacrificed itself, which left him with mixed emotions. So, he treated the little fox even better and swore to take her away from there! And when leaving, Sun Wukong and Xi Zhao looted the valley extensively, rudely pocketing any mature spiritual medicine into the space ring.

Moreover, Xi Zhao also mentioned the little fox’s inability to transform, so these past few days, Sun Wukong had been consoling the little fox, but to little effect!

The night passed without words, as usual, with Sun Wukong and the little fox together and Xi Zhao resting alone elsewhere. The next morning, just as it got light, Sun Wukong was suddenly woken up by an exclamation from Xi Zhao.

However, waking up, he immediately went on guard, summoning the Golden Hoop and the World Suppressing Stele, but after looking around, he saw no enemy, only Xi Zhao laughing uproariously nearby.

"Hey, have you laughed yourself silly with your own stench? You gave me a scare!" After putting away the Jingu Bang, Sun Wukong bent down to wake the little fox and then took out a bag of water from the space ring to wash a peach for her to eat.

"Haha, monkey, I remember now, I remember now, haha. I know how to get rid of this stench!" Xi Zhao continued to laugh heartily as he thought of Sun Wukong and ran over to him. The little fox, who had been somewhat groggy, suddenly smelled Xi Zhao’s stench and instantly opened her eyes wide and quickly jumped away in alarm.

Seeing the little fox’s reaction, Sun Wukong laughed so hard he rocked back and forth, while Xi Zhao had a look of sheer frustration. However, after Sun Wukong laughed for a while, he saw Xi Zhao was genuinely upset, so he stopped laughing and asked, "What way? Actually, you being like this is quite good, at least we don’t have to worry about encountering soul beasts on the way!"

"Hmph, keep laughing, you stinky monkey. This morning, I suddenly remembered, there’s a flower in the Netherworld World called the Soul Penetrating Fragrance, the natural enemy of the pungent mushroom.

As long as we find the Soul Penetrating Fragrance, this measly stench will be no problem!" After that, Xi Zhao deliberately raised his voice, "If someone eats this flower called Soul Penetrating Fragrance, their body will emit a fresh scent, and even after resurrection, the scent won’t disappear!"

Indeed, these words were incredibly compelling for the little fox. Initially having leapt far away, the little fox cautiously peeked out from behind a large tree, looking at Sun Wukong with an eager face!

This little fox, ever since she spoke the first time they met, had never uttered a single word again. However, she understood every word Sun Wukong and Xi Zhao said and could even express her thoughts through movements and expressions. Xi Zhao said this was because the little fox’s subconscious always believed she was just an ordinary fox, and thus couldn’t speak!

Seeing the little fox’s eagerness and Xi Zhao’s pride, Sun Wukong had no choice but to spread his hands and say, "Since that’s the case, our next target is the Soul Penetrating Fragrance."

But then Sun Wukong asked, "Do you know where this flower is? And it won’t delay our journey, will it?"

Xi Zhao thought for a moment and said, "I vaguely remember there’s a mountain in the Soul Extinguishing Mountain Range called Spirit Flower Peak; there should be some there. And it happens to be on our way."

"Good, let’s set off! Even if it’s not for you, for the little fox’s sake, we should make the trip, haha! However, Xi Zhao, you really do stink, worse than my second brother Zhu Bajie!"

"You’re asking for it, monkey!"

Having said that, the little fox led the way, with Sun Wukong following behind and Xi Zhao at the end, as the three continued to rush down the path. This time, however, their destination was Spirit Flower Peak in search of the Soul Penetrating Fragrance!

Meanwhile, in the valley where the three had just been, three figures suddenly appeared. These three shadows were dressed very similarly, all in black tight-fitting clothes, but the weapons they carried on their backs still revealed their differences.

After arriving in the valley, they first surveyed the area and found some immature Spiritual Medicine as well as some scattered Soul Power lingering in the air, though this Soul Power was already very weak.

One of the men in black, carrying a Thin Sword, said, "Wumeng, I’m afraid that old turtle was killed by someone, and even the valley’s Spiritual Medicine has been plundered clean!"

The other man in black, carrying an almost transparent Thin Sword at his waist, continued, "However, that person made a very stupid mistake, getting contaminated with the stench of the rotten shroom. As long as the smell lingers, he won’t get far!"

After he finished speaking, the last person, who carried a very broad and heavy sword, said, "Indeed, whether it was during a fight or an accidental touch, but that person is also out of luck. Let’s go, we must find the person alive or the body if dead. After such a long search, we finally have a clue!"

Having said this, with a few leaps and bounds, the three pursued in the direction Sun Wukong, Xi Zhao, and the little fox had disappeared. However, upon leaving, the man carrying the Thin Sword suddenly released a spirit bird.

These three people were the three sent by the King of Myriad Demons Country to the Netherworld World to assassinate the little fox. The one carrying the Thin Sword was named Yao Wuxue. The sword he carried on his back was the once famous Thin Sword, Fish Intestine!

The one with the almost transparent Thin Sword at his waist was named Yao Wuqing, and that sword was the Thin Sword Cicada Wing, also a famous sword.

The one carrying the very broad and heavy sword was the leader of the three, and the sword on his back was the Tyrant Sword Juque!

Each of these three swords could be considered renowned swords, and the three swordsmen were ranked among the top three in Myriad Demons Country! Although each person only had the strength of merging Eight Dao Patterns, once they joined forces, they could possibly take on a Domain Lord Level adversary.

The premise, however, is that the adversary only possesses the strength of a Domain Lord and is not actually one, for once the World Suppressing Stele is unleashed, no one dares to compete with its edge.

As for the spirit bird, once released by Yao Wuxue, it flew straight to Thunder King City, where Sun Wukong and the others had set off, and then perched on the windowsill of an inn. At that moment, a very handsome young man appeared out of nowhere, and then untied the note from the leg of the spirit bird.

The note read: "In the Soul Extinguishing Mountain Range, the Saint Armor Supreme Turtle has been found, tracking in progress!"

After reading the note, the handsome young man revealed a devilish smile. With a flick of his finger, the note turned to powder and vanished. Then he called out loudly, "Mo Can, Chu Zhan, Jue Cha, Han Ling, prepare to set off! Yao Wumeng and the others have already found a trail, this damned mission can finally be completed!"

No sooner had the man’s voice faded than four people suddenly appeared behind him, each with distinct clothing and weapons, and among them, there was even a woman!

"Boss Fen Yan, once we complete the mission, we can be resurrected, right? This damn place is really too boring!"

The speaker was Chu Zhan, with short hair. After he spoke, he brought his fists together with a heavy clash, instantly igniting several sparks and energy turbulence!

Obviously, Chu Zhan was a Pugilist. And all five of these people possessed formidable strength. At the very least, in a solo fight, each could probably defeat the top person from the Netherworld World’s Outer City, the Netherworld King of Qin!
